Lol I got all correct but maybe this is too close to home for me 🤪 But I very much agree with you. Also I feel the broader point is lost in this quiz :)

You can find similar but more interesting experiments in Vauhini Vara's recent New Yorker piece, and/or @tuhinchakr.bsky.social's work, and lots of other places!

There's a million things to say about this, but I hate when these little AI quizzes are so contrived & random.
Like these aren't equivalent passages at all? They're cherry-picked quotations on totally different subjects in different styles. All else aside, we can beef up the experimental design...
A few people have asked for the syllabus from my grad seminar on Generative AI for social science -- just posted it here:

Amazing 😻
How horrible to be a CS grad student under pressure to submit multiple first author papers to every conference deadline, whether they feel ready or not. This serves no one’s best interests in long run (science included). But lots of students appear to being getting advice it’s necessary to compete
Whatever you think of the Washington Post at this moment, here's a chance to support the dedicated, hard-working journalists who were just laid off. If you have the means, your donation is most welcome. If you don't, a kind thought and maybe spreading the word to others is support enough 💙
This excellent piece, from a former Washington Post writer, is the most comprehensive I've seen so far, answering a lot of my questions: Why has the Post's business suffered while the NYT's has been sustained? What are some better possible futures? www.newyorker.com/news/annals-...
Thats a very narrow interpretation. Say for instance in HCI there are many papers that extend theoretical argument without any math( pure qualitative) but they are not “position papers”
CS ArXiv recently banned “review and position” papers, but what are those? Do they include more generated content? Who is most affected by this change? @yanai.bsky.social and I dug into the data to find out!
Nearly 50% of Computers & Society papers might be censored, vs 3% of Computer Vision ‼️
That makes no sense. Position papers are position papers.
Just waiting for the shock that Emerald Fennel is bestowing on us
NEW EPISODE: Award-winning writers and longtime friends @vauhinivara.bsky.social and Karan Mahajan join co-hosts Whitney Terrell and @sugi.bsky.social to discuss Vara’s recent New Yorker essay “What If Readers Like AI-Generated Fiction?”

Very much enjoyed listening to this fun podcast about a certain Tuhin Chakrabarty’s research 😅
This was so fun!!! Listen!!! ✨
We are all in this together

NO means NO
Don’t argue with me but argue with people who trained LLMs that allow such kinda imitation. I just showed the legal implications of such imitation:-)
Your individual opinion is irrelevant here. Do you think AI companies will ask your permission before rolling anything out? Its academic research. Treat it like that and look at our legal discussion in the paper on copyright law
Yes its so beautiful :-)
It’s often very hard to keep up with non academic reading because of how things are but 2025 was a fun year in terms of personal goals. Largely because of my research. Here are some books that I loved reading this year and I hope you will enjoy them too. #2025
“Seven excellent readers had mistaken an A.I. chatbot for me. Seven excellent readers had mistaken me for an A.I. chatbot.” Vauhini Vara writes about training an A.I. model on her writing—and what the results say about the future of literature.

Thinking of a fun holiday quiz while you are at home with your family ? Try this 👇
Fascinating and thought-provoking essay by @vauhinivara.bsky.social on AI-generated literature—drawing on research by @tuhinchakr.bsky.social, Jane Ginsburg, and @dhillonp.bsky.social.
The piece includes an uncanny quiz (which I did terribly on) and a beautiful meditation on literature.
:-) You are the best
Congrats !!
Easy to be a hater on the internet but hey @brhi.bsky.social we have data :-)
